After much delay, Stree 2 finally went on floors in July this year in Chanderi, a town in Madhya Pradesh where the first instalment of the horror-comedy franchise was also set. The shoot of the film starring Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee is currently underway.
Stree was released in 2018. It opened to wide critical acclaim and emerged as a commercial success at the box office. The music of the film also drew a lot of attention with Milegi Milegi and Aao Kabhi Haveli Pe becoming raging chartbusters. The audience also fondly remembers Kamariya featuring a scintillating Nora Fatehi, who grabbed a lot of eyeballs for her moves on the track.
And now, a source exclusively reveals to News18 Showsha that there will be an interesting addition to the cast of Stree 2. While it won’t be a full-fledged role, an actress will be seen grooving to the beats of a peppy dance number in this film as well. “Tamannaah Bhatia will be featuring in a song in Stree 2. It’s an upbeat dance number that will be as catchy as Kamariya. The shoot for the same has already been done,” reveals the source.
Tamannaah has already proved her dancing prowess in an array of songs, the latest being Kaavaalaa from Rajinikanth’s Jailer. The song became an instant sensation and Tamannaah’s moves went viral on social media with many fans and dancers creating reels and emulating her steps. “With several hit songs in her kitty, the makers of Stree 2 felt that Tamannaah was the right fit for the song. Rajkummar Rao will be a part of the song and the duo will be seen sharing screen space for the first time,” the source adds.
We reached out to Tamannaah’s team regarding the same but they remained unavailable for comment.
On a related note, ever since its release, Stree has become a part of pop culture with its dialogues ‘O Stree kal aana’ and ‘Bikki pleaj’ sparking a meme fest. Speaking about Stree 2 a while back, Rajkummar had said, “Stree is so special for all of us. Amar and I discussed that we would not make it under pressure. We will make it with the same kind of sincerity and love that we had while making part one.”
Stree 2 is being directed by Amar Kaushik and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. It is a part of the producer’s horror-comedy universe which includes films like Stree, Roohi, and Bhediya. Stree 2 is set for a theatrical release on August 30, 2024.
